Those are some really great finds! 

I got a fun surprise today, I have another forum I am active on, and been doing a build post there, like I have here. Well I had ran into a stoppage on progress with the engine because Tamiya didn't make  paint close enough to Pontiac Engine blue, well one of the mods there said he had a jar of Model Masters Pontiac Engine Blue paint. I offered to buy it from him, well he said no, and offered to send it to me.  

Today I got the package from him, and not only was it the Pontiac Blue, but it was a few other engine colors as well, so Brent if your here, thank you again!  

Also snagged some nailpolish beads for mixing, and gonna start dropping them in my paints. 

 

 

Where did you find the "beads" ?

Got the Tamiya kit in a Excellent Trade with Street Rod. Got the Rays Decals off of Ebay from Pontiacbanker. Decals are for a GMC 1971 Sprint, GMC version of a El Camino.
